The Finnish Railway Bridge is an important backup link in the North-West railway system. And it connects both industrial banks of St. Petersburg with each other. Located 1 kilometer upstream of the Alexander Nevsky Bridge Length 514 meters Length of reinforced concrete overpass 611 metro Total length with approaches about 1130 meters
The Finnish railway bridge across the Neva is located on the Finnish connecting railway line.
Serves only for railway transport. The bridge was built in 1910-1913.
according to the design of engineers G. G. Krivoshein, N. A. Belelyubsky, I. G. Aleksandrov and architect V. P. Apyshkov. The bridge is double track.
The riverbed is blocked by four metal arched buildings with a drawbridge in the middle. The bridge rises significantly above the banks. The left bank approach to the bridge passes along a reinforced concrete multi-span overpass, built in 1911 - 1913. based on a design by the Danish company Christiani. The construction of the overpass was carried out under the leadership of engineer G.P. Perederia.
The overpass consists of a chain of free-standing frames with consoles connected by suspended beams.
The use of frame reinforced concrete structures was a new word in bridge construction technology of that time. On the right bank of the building there was a metal overpass.
In 1983-1988, the Finland Bridge was reconstructed. A backup bridge was built parallel to the existing bridge on the downstream side, and the abutments and supports of the old bridge were expanded (according to the design of engineers A.K. Vasin, O.Yu. Rusin, N.D. Shipov, V.P. Kurtsev and architect Yu Yu. Sinitsyna). The new bridge is assembled using welding and bolts from heavy-duty steel. During its construction, spans weighing 540 tons were assembled on the shore, delivered to the supports on pontoons and installed there. The work on the construction of the bridge was supervised by engineers V. Ya. Didov, B. I. Tsvetkov, A. A. Ariev.
